My wedding is one month away at Moon Palace. Maria is my coordinator and as of now, I have no idea what to expect. I don't know if I should email one of the other coordinators as I've seen suggested on here. I have a few questions-I have 31 guests (including me and the groom) and half booked with a travel agent, the other half directly at the resort. Will I get the group booking perks, like free nights and such? or is that only applicable if they all book with the same person? Also, 6 of our guests are not staying at the resort so we will need guest passes. They are $91?

 

Also, I would like a private reception, but not sure I want to pay $50 per person/per hour. Has anyone else come across this? We wanted to do a destination wedding to save money and stress, but it seems like we will end up paying as much as we would have in the states if we have to pay extra for the reception, rehearsal dinner and such. I am staying optimistic but if we had not already paid for our room and flight I would cancel with the resort. My whole experience so far has been awful. Hopefully I am wrong and it will turn out great because all the photos I have seen are amazing.  Help! :-)
